Why does FQ email alias work?

[Harley]

Hi!

I received the following note from a family member.[nbsp][nbsp]He has his regular ISP email address, and an email alias I set up for him on my Futurequest hosted domain, which reroutes email to his ISP address.

Here is the relevant part of his note;

-----------------=----------------------
... click on his website http://www.retirequickly.com/45215 On the site there was a pop up window[nbsp][nbsp]where I filled in my e-mail address, name and phone # to receive some secret reports etc. Anyway they didn't come. I e-mailed him and he suggested I sign on with hotmail.[nbsp][nbsp] Anyway I tried my regular ISP email address again with no luck and after trying hotmail for a while with no success,[nbsp][nbsp]I tried (me@futurequestalias.net) and bingo![nbsp][nbsp]in a few minutes I had the free reports...
-------------------------------------

Any[nbsp][nbsp]idea why this occurred?[nbsp][nbsp]Thanks!

where I filled in my e-mail address, name and phone # to receive some secret reports etc. I'm sure before to long, we will have emails coming out of his ears...[nbsp][nbsp]:P

Spam literacy is the first thing that came to my mind after reading that snippet above... ;)

This is one of the rare instances where Spam didn't work, well - ummm - errr, except for it successfully being delivered by our mail server...[nbsp][nbsp]:(

*sigh*
